Ok so small pet peeve. Everyone always talks about how good Invoker is at level 16 with aghanims, but isn't it level 17 that the level 4 invoke is available? Not 16?

I tried checking playdota for the hero listing but it doesn't list what level the skills are available, and I'm downloading Diablo 3 beta so I can't play a Dota2 game without lagging badly right now lol.

yeah... 2, 7, 12, 17

Yeah it's 17, most people like to act like they know things but most people don't like to learn how to play Invoker.

Invoker and DS nerfs.

AGHS OGRE

Phase Shift auto-cast and mana cost removed? Hmm.

Thank god tranquil boots can now be disabled -.-

SnY being disabled is nice as well.

- Courier death team bounty can only trigger while no couriers are dead
Stops troll feeders

- Range creeps mana pool increased from 300 to 500
ooh

I'm a bit late to the party but I like this patch.

Do you mean dissassembled?

Also, does the range creep mana thing matter for anyone but Lion?

It's relevant vs AM or a team with multiple diffusals vs STR heroes with low mana pools. I mean, there's usually a wand charge. So I doubt it really matters very much. (Basically AM with manta illusions hitting a stunned support hero can prevent cheese usage or Spectre with a manta and ult doing the same)

How is the creep mana pool size relevant to AM? If he ults the creep? I thought only heroes could be ulted with that. Would be a pretty funny thing to do in a pub, lane Lion/AM max mana drain, hit range creep once and ult it with 2 enemy heroes beside it. Would be pretty much impossible to do, though, without enemy cooperation.

I just played a game as windrunner that was so awesome. No impressive stats or anything, was barely positive I think, but we got crushed all early and mid game, and their antimage got really big. In all the teamfights I nailed the double shackles and it felt so good. I don't think I've ever been happier with my play. Also shackle shot is really op lol.

Everyone always feels this way when they play Windrunner. It's so satisfying.

Then you get the idea to go back and watch the replay, and it just isn't the same--you just end up getting hung up all the mistakes you made.

Yea I'm definitely not going to go back to the replay for that exact reason. I'd rather be happy

Also I'd rather not watch myself get shit on by bloodseeker in mid for the first 15 mins.

Playdota says you can target enemy units with Mana Void. I'm not saying it's tactically useful, just something funny to consider since early on ranged creep will now have a larger mana pool than most heroes.

Didn't Nevuk just say this?

Combine that with my statement and your addendum is pointless.
